    sorry but when i train my back, i TRAIN MY BACK if you get what i mean, yes my biceps are "working" but to such a minute scale that there is no effect when i train my bi's. I think that you maximize your muscles potential at 4 sets and if you look at all the reps it goes from around 8-6 never passing 10 because that is the range that triggers hypertrophy. But if you add up some one that is doing 3 sets of 10-12 of the same thing it even's out or is even a little higher. Biceps = two muscles???? what are you saying??

    I'm saying that you are overtraining. Period. Way to many exercises for such a small muscle group. You make your gains outside of the gym not in it, get it???????
    What are your stats:
    Age?
    weight?
    Height?
    Yrs Training?
    Pct Knowledge?
    Cycle History?
    Etc?
    Diet w/ macros?

    I understand bro, im going to try it out this week and see how it all feels then maybe drop 1 set on an exercise or 2 depending on how it is, I will prob end up droping 1set of dbell tricep press, because today i could not finish all of them. But do you understand how MUCH it takes to overtrain???????? i am giving each muscle group 3-4 days to recover (every muscle in your body does not take more than 72 hours to recover). And not everyone is the same
